[YouTube-API] Re: playing html5 video on STB

Hello,

You can use any of the official YouTube Players to play back YouTube
videos from your device. Currently we offer APIs for the ActionScript
3 (Flash) player and what we call our <iframe> player, which has the
ability to play back video streams using an HTML5 <video> tag and
custom UI.

Building your own playback mechanism that happens to be powered by
the HTML5 <video> tag but somehow grabs YouTube's video streams is not
the same thing as using an official YouTube Player. The <iframe>
embedded player, which presupposes some sort of web browser hosting
environment, is the only official way of playing back YouTube content
via HTML5 <video>.

Cheers,
-Jeff Posnick, YouTube API Team
